A Great Way To Experience Phuket

This was an excellent experience. We selected a private tour. Our wonderful guide and our driver picked us up from our hotel and provided an informative experience of each destination. The Big Buddha was truly spectacular and is not to be missed. We had several opportunities to shop in spots we would not have found ourselves. It was so nice to travel around with the driving taken care of.
Must Do

Great way to see Phuket in a morning when you haven’t got too much time and you want someone to drive you around. The overall service was really good, the highlight was the Big Buddha and the cashew factory was tasty.
